Male Painted Bunting (blurred female in foreground).

Nice pictures gardenpom.

Seeing your indigo female bunting makes me wonder if I have had a visit from one. It seems like I have seen this type of bird visit my feeders along with some finches and just thought it was another finch or wren. Guess I need to pay more attention and learn about her markings.

Thanks Marilyn. You see a lot more female Buntings than males, especially the Painted Buntings. The males tend to be reclusive until they feel secure at a feeder. There are terrific shots on this thread. Love the Snow Buntings (guess I'll never see them here!)....and the Cygnet Swan (so cute).

Beautiful pics gardenpom...I always love your pics, they are so colorful and some of the birds I may never see except here.

My sweetie redpoll (but a blurry picture).

Thanks Rose.

Aw Mrs Ed...that is a sweetie! I would love to see one of those Redpolls in person!

Let me tell you, they are just the cutest little things. I'm thinking this is a female? It is smaller than the one I had at Christmas and less pink on the breast. I so wish they would have showed up on the bird count days.

But they are quite quick. This is on auto setting, I'll need to change to Shutter priority from now on!!

What is this little fellow? He seemed very mellow just sat there while I took his picture.

Wonderful pictures everyone. So glad you posted the pictures of the eclipse, linthicum. They are fantastic.

Wonderful pics everyone!


Hi Marilyn,Its a Brown -headed Cowbird (female).

Thanks Pell have never seen this gal at my feeder before. She was so docile I almost thought maybe she was sick, but then she perked up.

Another day of snow, sleet and freezing rain (still freezing rain tonight) here! Come on Springtime.

Meanwhile, the old crow with the camera caught this old crow down by the creek. It is pretty far away and he/she is landing, but you get the idea.

Nice pics everyone.
Mrs_Ed those Redpolls are very sweet, aren't they. I also enjoy them at the feeders. They are in great numbers here in winter. Pretty soon, they'll be leaving, and it's going to be, the goldfinches, and purple finches turn, at the feeders in Spring .

And we get these sweeties, Black-Capped Chickadees.

We had 3-4 inches of snow too.

Say, just a report… Even though it is still so cold, my mother reports that she had 2 bluebirds arrive today! YAY spring!!!

It started snowing here too. Don't know how much they're announcing.
Thanks Pelle.

Nice shots everybody!

Very nice shots adel!!! They are such a beautiful bird!

Enjoyed seeing this female red bellied woodpecker up close. She was kind enough to show me the top of her head.

Another sweet lady at my feeder. Female Cardinal

Very nice pics Julie!

The snow is going away, but the Snow Birds (Dark-eyed Juncos) are still here.

Well still plenty of snow here and no end of it in sight yet.
